CHALI 2NA of Jurassic 5
an MC for the hip-hop group Jurassic 5. His deep voice is one of the most recognizable in all of hip-hop. He moved to South Central Los Angeles, the home base of Jurassic 5 since the group’s inception in 1995, at a young age, and was raised by his grandmother. His stage name is a reference to Charlie the Tuna, the deep-voiced animated mascot of Starkist.
He and Cut Chemist became friends in high school. Teamed with Mark 7even, they were part of a seven-man group called Unity Committee (the other members- Kermit, Metalogik, Lonjevity and Jahli- later formed a group called Darkleaf, to which Cut Chemist routinely pays homage.) The Unity Committee crew would often spend Thursday nights performing at The Good Life Caf
